Often viewers complain on the fansite that a busted myth was treated unfairly. At this point the MythBusters have no other option but to destroy the clients house in a spectacular explosion. If the team fails, and the myth is confirmed then it will continue to haunt the clients house with no way of stopping it. Throughout the episode there are more advert breaks, unnecessary recaps and 'don't try this at home' warnings, which in total take up at least a third of the length of the episode. If the myth is successfully busted, they lock it up and the client is now myth free. The MythBusters then arrive at their client's house and begin to use a variety of scientific techniques to disprove or 'bust' the myth. After the adverts, more stock footage is shown and there's an unnecessary recap of the very little amount of stuff that happened in the previous part. Afterwards, the team get in their 'MythMobile' and drive off, then theres an advert break. The narrator then shows the audience a piece of stock footage related to the myth. Thus, MythBusters was born.Įach episode begins with the MythBusters receiving a phone call from a scared person whose house is being haunted by a myth. One mother was shocked to find her eight year old son stuffing his baby sister into a microwave, while her older daughter actually kissed another girl! Discovery needed to think of a way to pass the show off as an educational program, while including lots of warnings against trying any of the experiments at home. All it did was make children want to attempt some of the dangerous stunts at home. However, parents complained that the show had no educational value at all. The show received viewing figures of 42, a record high for the Discovery Channel. The show's half hour pilot episode was entirely made up of various clips of car crashes, explosions, helicopters spinning out of control, police shootouts, shark attacks, natural disasters, trains colliding head on, two Asian girls making out, moonwalking birds, trees falling on people, cats in microwaves, fat people falling down the stairs, midgets being railed down with a Minigun, and spontaneous head explosions, with 'Yakety Sax' and the '1812 Overture' as background music. It was given the working title 'The Best Job in the World'. So Discovery decided to give viewers what they want and they devised a show in which special effects wizards would do just that.

They wanted to see dull, yawn-inducing explosions and learn a bunch of useless trivia, such as how to escape a sinking car or how to save someone who's about to be run over by train. Apparently back then people weren't interested in learning about exciting, adrenaline-fueling subjects such as moss, igneous rocks and the mating rituals of various elephants. Many years ago, the Discovery Channel was in trouble, its ratings were the lowest around. They don't just tell the myths, they get taught how to do super cool things for cash, while claiming to put them to the test! Early History
